. . . From the outside looking in it may not seem that difficult however there is much more too it than meets the eye. . .

. . . foresight is 2020 . . .

They aren't missing on these players, they are impatient, unwilling to develop players that have been waiting their time for upper classmen to move out of the system.

The attitude today is if you can't bump an upper classmen as a freshmen we don't want you.

. . . good chances are that if you can't bump anyone for playing time, they are not worth wanting . . . anywhere . . . and if they are, we may get one season with them and they are gone . . . it takes a crap load of one season players to fill a team . . . and we can only have 85 . . .

You are thinking from a defeatist point of view.

First: Why would a school start a raw 3-star over a proven, experienced, 4-star and two other 4-star players ahead of them? They won't, they never will, so why sign with them in the first place.

I have been using the term "Talent Graveyard" for two decades because that is exactly what they are.

Now add the influx of proven 2-stars to their transfer roles and you have a unique situation of available 3-stars from high school and (raw) 3-star players being spit out the straw.

It takes work and a willingness to recruit players you thought you had no chance at when they were in high school.

. . . maybe after 20 years, you should consider allowing the "Talent Graveyard" to RIP in the graveyard . . . surely you would not be the only one to recognize this as a viable concept over a period of 20 years . . .

Package the massive Jennings DT teammate that hit portal 2 days ago........Trevor Etienne is Florida's 15th portal so far.

I stopped counting.....Has to be well over 100 FBS RBs in portal now. Even more WR. Crazy #'s.

. . . does anyone think we actually have a realistic opportunity to pick up a player like Etienne . . .

So, the cat was let out of the bag supposedly joking the first time. His former HS coach told a friend of mine he is trying to get more money from Napier because he has been offered more by other programs. I will say it again Billy Napier is getting a little taste of his own medicine.

What is 191? # of FBS WR in portal as of this moment. ONE HUNDRED NINETY-ONE

Vast majority are 3 & 4 stars

[CajunVic]

. . . that is a league CMD does not have the money to play in . . .

Are you kidding?

Seriously, the talent graveyard scenario is worse now more than ever.

A buck for a bench.

Over the weekend you were discussing at least they get the money.

That means they wasted their talent for temporary money.
